First Lady Melania Trump, who invested her time in the White House calling attention to children the world forgot, said America’s baby formula shortage is “heartbreaking.”. Trump sat down with Pete Hegseth of Fox News for what is being reported as her first interview since leaving the White House, the Washington Examiner reported. The interview aired Sunday, May 15th. Check out the video below.
“I think it’s sad to see what’s going on if you really look deeply into it,” First Lady Melania said when asked to assess the state of the country.
“It’s been in the news. As someone who loves children and has dedicated so much to their betterment, how do you feel when you see a shortage of baby formula and families just struggling to get basic items like that?” he asks.
Hegseth then asked Melania about the formula shortage.
“I think a lot of people are struggling and suffering and what is going on around the world as well. So it’s very sad to see, and I hope it changes fast,” Trump added.
“It’s heartbreaking to see that they are struggling and the food is not available for children in [the] 21st century in the United States of America,” Trump said.
“Why is it happening?” Hegseth asked.
“Leadership,” she said.
“Leadership or lack thereof?” he followed up.
The answer came in a heartbeat: “Yeah.”
Joe Biden was asked Friday if his administration might have reacted quicker to the shortage.
“If we’d been better mind readers, I guess we could have,” he told reporters, according to CNN.
In another clip posted by Fox, Trump spoke about the media bias she faced in the White House.
Hegseth also noted that Vogue publication never ever included Trump on its cover, a difference that went to Hillary Clinton, previous first lady Michelle Obama (3 times), Vice President Kamala Harris and first lady Jill Biden.
“They’re biased and they have likes and dislikes, and it’s so obvious,” Trump said.
“And I think [the] American people and everyone see it. It was their decision, and I have much more important things to do — and I did in the White House — than being on the cover of Vogue.”
